Kenny Pickett Remains Near Bottom Of League In NFL.com’s Latest QB Index

Five games (four starts) into his career as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, things haven’t gone quite as well as many hoped for rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett.

The Steelers have won just one game — against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — which happened to be a game that Pickett left in the third quarter due to injury. On top of that, the Steelers have scored just 53 points with Pickett under center across roughly 16.5 quarters.

More than half of his throws, according to Pro Football Focus, are in the 0-9 yard window, with another 10% behind the line of scrimmage entirely.
